Anything by Dostoevsky, that shit is just too dense, stop describing every god damned item, piece of furniture, wallpaper, and hair follicle and get on with the fucking story already. The Idiot had three full pages of tiny text describing a train cabin and the one guy in it, absolutely not for me.

Shadow Moon, the sequel to the movie Willow, written by Chris Claremont and George Lucas was hot shit. I couldn't finish the 2nd book in the trilogy.

Forest Gump. When the movie came out one of the people who was there was going on and on about the book. I picked up a copy and wish I hadn't. Its terrible. The movie is great but its based on pure garbage.
